Plus. My penis is 12 inches. Soft

I am 100% serious about this.
I have this recurring nightmare where I'm wandering around King George Highway in Surrey. And I can't seem to find my way back home.
My mental picture of it is from 10-15 years ago where it has the Mohawk up the hill where the road splits into two and you have the motor homes to the left of it (if heading to the Mohawk). You're walking up hill towards the Mohawk. I don't know if my mental picture is even real.
It's a nightmare though.

Such a delicate flower.
I think there's smoked salmon at the gift shop at the airport? Otherwise random stuff from Gastown souvenir shops?
alright ill check those out. and like actual smoked salmon? lol I don't know about that. Might be something I would want to have for dinner though
That's mainly Canadian souvenirs and Native American art.
This may sound weird, but I recommend going to Chinatown and picking up some souvenirs there. That's more Vancouver then anything you'll find in Gastown, and you will have a harder time finding some of those things in Toronto.
Vancouver is a hip and trendy city with a good mixture of Canadian and Asian cultures. Does it have it's own unique culture that's personified in souvenirs, not really. Vancouver doesn't really have good landmarks to base souvenirs off like the CN Tower for example. Vancouver is more about living here or enjoying a quick vacation, nothing to bring home.
Otherwise, only other identifiable unique thing to Vancouver I can think of is something like a Canucks, BC Lions, or Whitecaps hat that may be harder to find in Toronto?

Do your friends like beer? Get a big 750ml bottle of something fancy from Four Winds. Damn good stuff.

The wine man. It's exquisite especially the cab francs. Anything from okanagan valley. Impossible to buy in Ontario. I'm gonna miss it SO much when I go to Alberta. Easily equal to Niagara regions best stuff. Get them wine systembug.
The bottle in the picture above is divine, about 30 bucks or so. All I've been drinking since arriving from Toronto.

Bottle is empty lol
But even if it was full, I'm living in a room right now with minimal storage. There's apples, cookies, bottled water, tea, and other stuff there too.

If my interviews went well I might as well be joining you guys for the summer!

Work 9-6pm minimum. Come home and stream games on Twitch till almost midnight on most days. I got no time for anything else I probably could live in Red Deer and be fine because of my schedule type, hahaha... as long as they got work in my industry

Just came back from Fat Mao Noodles in Chinatown. Pretty good food and not too experience. It gets two thumbs up from me.

You have good taste between this and your apartment choice
Why not go somewhere not tacky for NYE

I know your goal is to go after Tabris, but I really enjoy Vegas during NYE. 7-8 hotels on the strip shooting fireworks in a synchronized fashion is awesome.
I also love the food, shows and I will be with friends.

What did you get? I went there a while ago and got the dan dan noodles. It was pretty good.

Guess I'll finally have to get a Compass card next week since they're phasing out the monthly passes. Fair Savers are still usable, or can be transferred to a compass pass, right?
On an unrelated note, is there anywhere in this city that's good for outdoor calisthenics? Looking for something to offset my usual weight training. I remember there being some archaic course near Oakridge, but I'm not sure that even exists anymore, and if it does it may well be falling apart. Mostly need something with a decent mix of cardio and bars for strength training.

What's the best theatres near Brentwood? UltraAVX or "real" IMAX? I know my Toronto theatres well, Vancouver not so much.
Metrotown or Coquitlam. If you don't have a car, then the answer is Metrotown.

If you're wanting to do something downtown before/after, Scotiabank is a solid choice as well with AVX. Unfortunately it isn't as nice as the Toronto Scotiabank

Same! I also got to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in a while. It was awesome.
Real IMAX at Silvercity Riverpoint on Richmond is my suggestion. Only the climax of TFA was filmed on 70mm but I'd say give it a shot. I'll probably watch both that and The Hateful Eight once I come back.

Yeah. Watching Thursday night and Friday night showings at Silvercity Riverpoint which is a bit of a trek for me.. haha

Thanks for the recommendations!
What are the chances of getting a ticket at the box office on Friday afternoon or anytime Saturday Sunday? I have a courtesy ticket.

Pretty close to zero worldwide unless you want the very very front row from what I'm seeing. I'd use the courtesy ticket for another movie.
